SHARPAL 127N Dual-Grit (Coarse 325 / Extra Fine 1200) Diamond Sharpening Stone with Leather Strop, Tool Sharpener for Knife, Axe, Lawn Mower Blade, Garden Shears, Chisels, Spade and All Blade Edge

Bought this to sharpen up my 10 inch shears as I was using a file previously to restore the edge, the difference is night and day!! Very effective at sharpening and incredible value and quality. I was familiar with sharpal stones after buying their diamond plate for my kitchen knives, this is exactly the same but a mini version, easily fitting in a pocket or backpack (or toolbox in my case) Very good little item and well worth the asking price!

Excellent tool I find it very good for just keeping my chisels sharpened.

I am always sharpening knives both for culinary work and my hobby of making things from leather. As most of us already know a really sharp knife is safer than a dull one, as much less pressure is required to make a cut. I already own a really effective knife sharpening system, but it requires a few minutes to set it all up so it only gets used when I have a few dulled tools. I bought this as something to quickly restore a tool's edge between bouts of major resharpening. I have just tested it on a kitchen knife that was last sharpened about 3 weeks ago. It was pretty dull as others in my household do horrid things to sharp knives, such a putting them in a pile of cutlery on the draining board. With just a few strokes of the coarse side, a hone on the other, and a swift strop with the leather sheath, this put a superb edge on the knife. The tool proved very easy to use and it feels nicely balanced in the hand. The paracord binding on the handle allows a very secure grip and the leather sheath is a clever touch with its ability to be used as a strop. I like it very much and it will be a go-to tool for regular use. It would be especially useful to take on lengthy trips in the outdoors as it isn't either heavy, or bulky, and will always ensure a decent edge on knives used in the field. Highly recommended...

I bought this to sharpen my sickle / mini scythe in the field and it does a lovely job. It is comfortable to hold and very easy to control giving confidence and a great result. It was very hard to get out of the leather sheath the first time, but after a few times, it has become easier and now just fits well with no fear that it could fall out. The proposal in the instructions that you use the leather sheath and some paste to strop the blade seems daft as this would mean that you get paste on your pockets - it would be better to have a strop added to the sheath and then doubled over and secured with a popper - this would be the only improvement I could suggest. I am very happy to recommend this diamond stone to anyone.

My partner is a butcher & he needed 1 of these, excellent he said & helps him alot with regards the sharpness of his butcher knife.

Unfortunately, the sharpener didn't have the 'built in 20 degree angle guide' as shown in the photographs. Otherwise, it is a very well made piece of kit.

This will never be as good as sharpening on a whetstone, but having said that, this has brought my kitchen knife back to shaving sharp, and won't take as much room as a set of stones in a drawer would. It just takes a bit of getting used to so you don't cut yourself whilst sharpening your knives.

I have tried many different sharpening systems and the quality/results greatly vary. I usually sharpen using traditional sharpening stones, but I wanted to find a solution that was accessible and faster. The Sharpal tool meets the criteria for keeping knives and garden tools in top shape. The dual-grit design makes it versatile, allowing for both coarse sharpening and fine honing. It sharpens incredibly well—my dull knives are brought back to life in a short space of time. The diamond surface is durable and efficient, making the sharpening process quick and easy. It’s also compact and easy to store, which is a bonus. There is still a skill to sharpen knives with this tool, but with some patience, you can achieve great results without breaking the bank. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and effective sharpening.

Voldeed nog steeds . Bedankt !

Entre todas las inmensas opciones de afiladores me quedo con este por su versatilidad, sirve para navajas, cuchillos, hachas, machetes, cinceles, formones. Si tienes una piedra dual económica y lo completas con este afilador ya tendrías 4 granos distintos y la piel para refinar el filo. Realmente funciona excelente si sabes mantener el ángulo preciso

Il prezzo forse è un po' altino, ma funziona. Ha due facce, una grossolana per ripristinare l'angolo e l'altra per rifare il filo alla lama. Ho per ora affilato solo un vecchio coltello dell'ikea, testato poi su pomodori che prima faticava ad incidere e tagliare, ora va benissimo. Ovviamente dopo l'affilatura va pulito sia coltello che lima dalla polvere metallica che si crea.... Si può usare per varie cose, anche attrezzi da giardino, forbici ecc., basta prenderci la mano con l'inclinazione di affilatura.

I am a knife nut. I sharpen everything that can be sharpened. The diamonds last long, so far, it's convenient to carry around and it won't break if dropped. If you can freehand sharpen, this may very well be your baby. I get arm hair popping edges off the 1200 grid side. Just remember: Use something else to reprofile. Doing so on the 320 grid side will be a punnishment both to you and this tool. There are stones out there with larger grid sizes.

Slipade bra i början men efter 15 slipade knivar avtog slipeffekten markant. Mycket sämre livslängd än mitt gamla diamantbryne av annat fabrikat, kan ej rekommendera denna produkt.
